Quinoa in my tummy

I came home tonight to a huge bowl of quinoa salad in the fridge. Hello, tastiness!! I absolutely love quinoa and it's something that I don't make enough of. I really should, because this stuff is healthy and super good. I'll be honest though, when I first saw it, I thought that it looked really gross. Mostly because they're "cluster-y" and look like alien fish eggs but don't let that scare you off! I gave it a try and I'm in love. Some people thing that quinoa's a grain, but it's not. It's really a seed and well...you can just look it up.
There's tonnes of recipes out there too. I have no idea what was in the
one I ate tonight (I actually ate like, half the bowl...I hope it
wasn't for dinner or anything..) but I'm assuming a lemon dressing? It
had finely diced vegetables in it and dried cranberries. It's also
really good with regular salad dressing! I'm seriously considering
replacing rice with quinoa.
